Willpower Poems - Poems about Willpower

The cheesecake in the bakery I want to devour, dag-gone my crumbling willpower! It's cherry topping so high, makes me want to cry. I walk on past the candy aisle, and gaze at the cereal shelves awhile. Euell Gibbon's "sticks and pebbles" Grape Nuts brand- that kind of breakfast I cannot stand. Give me a cupcake piled with frosting, never mind, the "guilt calisthenics" afterwards...

Cast me down, obstruct my ways. Throw me down, into a maze. Supress my ideas and my notions, Let it be a complete commotion. Dissuade me from trying! Still baby, you can’t stop me from flying! Just know that! I’ll will, I’ll win, I’ll win…. Yeah…. I know I’ll win, i'll win, i'll win! Look into my eyes, the spark is so bright. My commitment...
